The Bean....another gimmick?

Ok, so I bought The Bean glow up excercise devise. Looks like it would be a great workout for my big ol' hiney. Great for legs, thighs, etc.

Am I a sucker? Anyone buy it, or have used it???

I do have it and only used it once (pre-op). What annoyed me the most was the skinny people on the video. I just could not attain that balance and poise. I was flip floppin all over the place. If they had a video with REAL people using it, I'd try again. I will however try to use it to sit on, I did hear that's good core workout without really "working out" per se.

I wonder if there are any excercise ball videos for overweight people the way Richard Simmons did Sweatin to the Oldies...*crosses fingers*

I doubt that the "skinny" people looked graceful the first time that they used the Bean.

It takes time to get the hang of it. Those folks are professionals. If you look at the before and after pictures I bet those people were also floppin' all over the place on their first try.

As a future former big girl, I know that I look "un-athletic" doing any type of exercise - for now. I keep plugging away though and it is getting better.

Give it some more time before you beat yourself up because you don't look like the people in the video. Good luck. :biggrin1:
